San
Diego, CA � August 2008 � Telestial (www.telestial.com),
the largest online retailer specializing in international cell phones and
prepaid SIM cards, has announced the launch of the Telestial
Travel Journal, an online service that automatically creates a trip
journal based on the location of the user�s mobile phone. No need to manually
update the journal from a Web site, the Telestial Travel Journal automatically
updates the user�s location in relation to cell phone towers in more than
100 countries. The Travel Journal is a free, value-added service included
with the purchase of all Telestial international cell phone packages or
prepaid international SIM cards.
The
user�s trip is automatically displayed on a Google map and a journal is
created with images of locations visited by the traveler, local weather
and a record of recent communications. Users can update and personalize
their Journal at anytime, either by sending texts or photos to the Travel
Journal directly from their prepaid cell phone. Even if travelers don�t
have the time or opportunity to make personal updates during their trip,
they receive a detailed online record of their travel experience afterward.
The
Travel Journal enables family and friends to share in the experience of
the traveler. Family and friends can access the Travel Journal online for
a map showing the traveler�s location, local time and if their cell phone
is on. Simple, assured privacy settings (�private,� �family and friends�
and �public�) give travelers total control over who can access their Journal.
In the future, travelers will have the option to publish all or part of
their Travel Journal on their favorite social networking site.
�With
the Travel Journal, travelers receive an automatic record of their trip
and family and friends can effortlessly stay in touch and share in the
travel experience,� said Ken Grunski, Telestial President. �There�s no
other mobile service like this on the market today.�
About
Telestial
Telestial
is a leading provider of deeply discounted international cell phones, prepaid
SIM cards for global coverage and other communications services which enable
travelers to retain control over costs while staying in touch overseas.
Unlike international phone rental options, Telestial eliminates problems
associated with incompatible cellular networks abroad or being tied to
a U.S. network that charges exorbitant international rates. Working with
providers worldwide, Telestial customers can get the same low local call
rates that international residents would pay, plus the convenience of an
enabled prepaid cell phone prior to arriving in an international destination.
Telestial ensures affordable and simple international calling options for
business or leisure with a wide selection of world phones and packages.
